Does anyone use BRP riding gear, I like there styles but need opinions there gear, comfort, wear,weather etc.
I have the '09 caliper jacket. It is the nicest, warmest jacket I've ever owned. I take the linning out in summer. Was able to find it on ebay, new for $100. Great fit. Just love it.
BRP has great riding gear.
The only two downfalls is, the price is a little high and some of there stuff runs one size to small. It's tough to tell what stuff runs small and what stuff doesn't.
I know the T-shirts are correct in the sizes, but it seems like the jackets are smaller and a little snug in my size.
Sizes run very small.
I have the old yellow jacket you could buy at a deal with the bike in 2008. Good jacket BUT If it's 90 out I switch to a mesh racing style.
I have the BRP black leather jacket with liner and zip vents and love it. My wife has the Can AM Caliper jacket and loves it. I found the men's caliper to be off on the mens sizes (too small) the leather was fine. Just way too hot for the warmer FL weather. Keep checking Ebay and you can get some great deals on Can AM labeled gear
I just ordered Cortech Denim jacket with zip vents, armour and removable liner for warmer weather from Jabrum on line. List was $149 and they are selling it for $68.00. I thought that was too good to pass up. They do not have that in ladies so got the Denim Tour Master for my wife for $59.00 also from Jabrum. Combined on same order and shipping is free, The look really nice and the comments from users were all good. Delivery is Monday.
One thing that ticks me off about BRP riding gear is that the armor has to be purchased separately as other clothing Co's include the armor with the jacket and pants. Also BRP color choices are boring I like my red jacket and helmet. JMHO

So far we have the waterproof gauntlet type gloves from BRP and they are the first gloves that have lived up to the price and claims. There is an Alpinstar glove that is identical for about $10.00 more and while not to put the other product down, the BRP gloves have been the bigger bang for the buck.

BURP!!!!-(excuse me)
Love the BRP Gear but WAY,WAY over priced, recommend searching on EBAY, Cycle Gear caries the same helmet for example as the BRP ones but made by BILT.
Thank, ordered the caliber jacket and pants, will get the summer mesh next month.

I have a 2008 caliber and 2008 leather jacket. Both are very warm with the liners in--I wear both all year long in rotation with my other jackets.
They are expensive--but wear well. Both look like new after three years of riding.
As many here, I agree. Deals to be had on eBay and order a size larger. I never had a can am sponsored helmet though... Hmmm.
I have the BRP Caliber of 09 Jacket & Pants. I ride with them down to the low teens to upper temps with no problems and comfortable on long distances. Just follow the measureing chart from brp and you should be fine
Well received the 2012 caliber jacket, pants, sympatex gloves, and can am base layer shirt, like all the products except the pants. They really do run small, if anyone is interested in a size 38 caliber pant new with tags, let know. The dealer I bout them from off eBay won't exchange them.

Update...received the 2 denim jackets from Jafrum and VERY pleased. Great quality and should be a tad cooler than the BRP leather jacket in warmer weather.
I have the Can Am Summer Mesh jacket and LOVE IT! It has a quilted liner in it that makes it very flexible when the weather gets cooler.Quote:
